I was wondering if you knew how I could alter the title tag that shows up at the top of the browser. It currently shows the blog name, then the article name. Can I change the order in which it shows, so it shows article first, then blog name?

Now you see a list of the Templates you can customize. We are going to customize the base template, which controls the overall structure of your blog pages, so click Edit in the row that begins with the word base.

Now you'll be on a page listing the current templates (there will probably be only one row listing Standard), click the Customize button.

You'll see a page giving you the option to Copy the Standard style to your staging area. Click Go.

Finally, you'll come to the page where you can customize the base template, which is the template controlling the main structure of your page. Sorry it took so long to get here, we need to work on making it easier to get to!

If you are just looking to add META tags to your blog, you don't actually need to do all of the above. You can do so by accessing the control panel at Settings & Security > Publishing Defaults > General. Look for the section labeled Additional <HEAD> Content, and enter the full META tag there.

As for adding ads to your weblog, the easiest way to do it would just be to create a custom component and add that component to your layout.

I'm actually making some $$ss out of this one. I'd love to introduce some ads or something too....

Working with the templates has been easier than I thought, and quite the learning experience. I am new to blogging, but I had a background in HTML. I was wondering if you knew some websites that went into further detail about the programming language used on these blogs. Covering things like:

{{if xxx}} and {{else}} tags as well as breadcrumbs and stuff.

I have searched but I can only find javascript and php info, not relating to the same format of code that BlogHarbor uses. Any resources you know of?

By the way, it would be really great if the "Main Page" part of the title could be modified. That is the only part I haven't figured out how to be able to change, unless I don't use a category in the title at all.

One of the very few things that can not be customized at this time is the name of the Main Page category...

The language used in the template is homegrown. As of this point in time, there are very few elements of the language. You can use if, else, and elsif statements to test if something is equal or not equal to something else.

The power of using this scripting language really comes in the use of the many variables which are available. The template manual here:
